Henning Reetz is a Professor at the Institute for Phonetics
and Phonology at the University of Frankfurt, Germany.

Allard Jongman is a Professor in the Linguistics
Department of the University of Kansas, and Co-Director of the
University of Kansas Phonetics and Psycholinguistics Laboratory
(KUPPL). Dr Jongman has published extensively on acoustic and
auditory phonetics in a variety of languages.

"I would say that the strength of this book lies in the technical
chapters." (The Linguist, June 2010)

“I have taught speech science and phonetics courses for over
35 years, always using my own individually designed course packet
— now I finally can adopt a textbook that meets all my needs.
This book provides an in-depth, up-to-date, and reader friendly
treatment of how human speech is produced, acoustically shaped,
analyzed, and perceived.” Harvey M. Sussman, University of
Texas at Austin

"Reetz and Jongman's textbook should be required reading for
anyone interested in learning about and understanding phonetics.
Phonetics is a rich but challenging field of study since it covers
such a broad range of areas (speech production, acoustics, speech
perception) across a number of disciplines (physics, physiology,
linguistics, psychology, biology). Reetz and Jongman provide a
masterful and rich introduction that is probably the most
comprehensive of any current or even past textbook by combining
articulatory phonetics and phonetic transcription with acoustic
phonetics and speech perception. As a consequence, the student will
not only learn each of these critical areas but ultimately how they
may inform each other. The approach of this book is importantly
conceptual, introducing the student to the principles underlying
speech. Technical concepts are introduced in a clear manner,
examples are plentiful, exercises and demonstrations on the book's
website provide hands-on and interactive opportunities that will
enhance and enrich the learning process." Sheila E. Blumstein,
Brown University
